Taste of Thai at Hero Market

Now you don’t have to go to Thailand to get authentic Thai products like popular brands of cooking sauces and pastes as well as ready-to-eat and ready-to-drink brands.

With Thailand as Malaysia’s nearest neighbour in the North, Malaysians are no strangers to the taste of Thai cuisine, snacks and sauces.

This is probably because Malaysians share similar tastes and enjoy Thai culture and cuisine as well as their innovative products, like low calorie snacks made from real fruits.

In addition, Malaysians who often visit Thailand for business or pleasure usually buy home Thai products and have become familiar with their brands and range of products.

From now till August 31, Hero Market at Taman Desa Tebrau in Johor Baru presents the Sabai Sabai Thai Food Festival 2018.
